Bahrain is located in the Persian Gulf between Saudi Arabia to the West and Qatar to the East. The island state of West Asia has a population of about 1.4 million. The capital of the country is Manama.

There is no casino on its territory. The country derives its wealth from the production and export of oil. But in recent years, the economy has tended to diversify, particularly towards tourism. For example, Qal'at al-Bahrain, site of the capital of the ancient civilization of Dilmun, obtains the UNESCO World Heritage mention since 2005 and can be visited today.
